Accommodation near the Sydney Opera House

Undoubtedly the most iconic architectural symbol of Australia, the Sydney Opera House remains as vivid against the city skyline as it first did when opened in 1973.

The multi-venue performing arts centre is a must-see for any visitor to Sydney City, whether it be attending a performance, strolling through the open-air grand scale forecourt where the likes of Sting, Crowded House and Oprah Winfrey appeared before thousands of fans, or simply taking a ferry and soak up the ambience from the water of this World Heritage-listed marvel.
